Rocks Stars

What could be more mundane and ubiquitous than rocks?
Yet, their varieties, colors, shapes, textures, combinations, and configurations can result in fascinating pileups of sculptural forms.
Think of water rushing through the stone outcroppings of Rio, the statue-like structures along the rivers of Vietnam, the dramatic arches in America’s southwest.
Presented here are my painted takes on real scenes witnessed in Spain, the US West, and China plus even more imaginative leaps involving pebbles, rocks, slopes, and sand.
The goal is not to depict reality so much as to use of my memories of various places as underpinnings for color juxtapositions and whirls of undulating shape.
